Middletown – Winning Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball® tickets worth $2 million and $1 million for the Sept. 18 drawing were sold by retailers in Cumberland County and Philadelphia.

Both tickets correctly matched all five white balls drawn, 07-10-22-32-35, but not the red Powerball 19.

The ticket sold by Wegmans Food Market, 6416 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, added Power Play®, which sets the prize at $2 million, less 25 percent federal withholding. The retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The ticket sold by Loges Newsstand, 101 S. 18th Street, Philadelphia, won a prize of $1 million, less 25 percent federal withholding. This retailer earns a $5,000 selling bonus.

Lottery officials cannot confirm the identity of the winners until the prizes are claimed and the tickets validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.

The Lottery encourages the holders of the winning tickets to sign the back of the tickets, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim at any of Lottery’s seven area offices or at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County.

Claims may be filed Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at area offices and at headquarters from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Nearly 195,000 other Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball tickets also won prizes in Wednesday night’s drawing, including three winners of $40,000 each and seven winners of $10,000 each.

The Powerball jackpot reset to an estimated annuity value of $40 million, or $22.4 million cash, for the Saturday, Sept. 21, drawing.

In the 2011-12 fiscal year, in addition to awarding over $322 million in prizes to winners in Cumberland and Philadelphia counties, the Pennsylvania Lottery contributed more than $217 million to programs serving older residents of those counties.
